[Wild Bill]

“Evidence from one animal study suggests that extracts from whole-plant marijuana can shrink one of the most serious types of brain tumours. Research in mice showed that these extracts, when used with radiation, increased the cancer-killing effects of the radiation.”

 

In addition, the bill would also remove cannabidiol, the non-intoxicating compound of the pot plant, from the Controlled Substances Act

 

Typical government solution. We better keep the part that makes you feel good illegal, it might lead to something serious like dancing.

"when used with radiation"

 

of course we cant kick radiation under the bus just yet eh

I wonder if they tried using cannabis with say, vitamin C also

they already know how to synthesize CBD.

no one knows how it all actually works at this point.

i think the current theory is that "THC induces apoptosis via CB2 receptor activation".

 

they didnt even discover the endocannabinoid system until the 60s? and that was only due to studying marijuana.

 

research is still stymied by marijuana's illegal status and NIDA/FDA/DEA shenanigans.

A non-toxic cancer killer and tumor shrinker, you think it would be front page news? nope.

 

politics and profits have taken over scientific medicine. more money is spent on treatment than cures or vaccines.
